Joey Barton has backed Mason Greenwood's impending move to Marseille after fans reacted furiously to being linked with him - and insisted England could have won Euro 2024 by playing the striker.
Marseille have reached an agreement in principle to sign Greenwood from Manchester United for £27million plus £3.2m in add-ons.
The forward, 22, was charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour in October 2022, but the charges and case were dropped in February 2023 when key witnesses withdrew. Greenwood has denied any wrongdoing.
